Another birthday?

I have 3 special people who have birthdays this week. As in an earlier post, one is my dad and the other two are my older sisters!
I am the baby of the family(by a long shot) and I have two terrific older sisters. Linda, who is in Texas, is the oldest. She is without a doubt a second mom to me. She always listens to me and hardly ever gets upset with me(I don't think anyway). When I lived in Tx. for a short while, she never complained to me about me always being around, needing something ETC...her kids are close to my age and we are more like siblings. I want to let her know how special she is to me and to my kids. I love you Linda, I hope you have a special day!
The other is Pam. She is so fun to be around and I have only seen her upset with me once(and I think I was only like 10). My kids live to go to aunt Pams. SHe has a farm and all the fun stuff that goes along with it. She also treats my kids like her own and they love her for it! I want you to know how special you are to me and my kids. I love you too Pam!
I don't always say it, but I am sure lucky to have two older sisters like the two of you!
Happy birthday to you!

Happy #82 to my

dad. It is my dads 82nd birthday. Wow, to have lived 80 decades, that is quite an accomplishment.
I know that he won't be reading this because he doesn't use computers, or answering machines, or his VCR. But he does use his remote and has speed idal on his phone.
My dad has an opinion about everything, always speaks his mind and never misses his favorite soap opera (One Life to Live). He loves to watch baseball, high school football and always reads the evening paper. His favorite candy is black licorice(yuk) He rarely misses a meal (that is a family trait!) and he and my mom love to eat out with friends. He served as an MP in WWII. He was one of the youngest and few that are left. He loves God, his wife, his family and country. He is a strong democrat! He is also our master griller in the family.
I love my daddy, he is not always going to be around and I have come to realize that I don't get upset by things he says or does quite as easy. Yea, he can ruffle my feathers, we are sooo much alike it isn' t funny.

So even though he won't see this, I want to say Happy Birthday Daddy! I love you!

Are you ready for some football...

we have been . Nathan has been playing 7th grade football this year. It is fun watching these young men run, tackle, spit, scratch just because they can. I have watched Nathan come home dead tired every evening, bruised and sweating, not even complaining once ( so unlike him)
It has been nice weather so far every wednesday afternoon. I have really enjoyed watching Nathan work hard at this sport, it sure doesn't come easy for him sometimes and he has found satisfaction in his hard work.
So until the Nov. 2 you will find the Clark's on wednesday afternoons at the football game cheering on the Hawks and #70!
